What is the difference between TM47 and TM30 in Thailand?

simple answer go to immigration

SIMPLE ANSWER

Look each up on immigration or Thai site tells you everything

Does anybody know how tenants could be fined if they don‘t register TM30 in time? I do mine myself, because I travel around so many times that my landlady asked me to do it. But sometimes after a short 2 days trip to another province I simply forget it.

TM17😜

Both should be consolidated into one but won't be.

17

3

90

days and house registration

If someone is staying at a friend’s house as a guest is the owner still required to file a TM 30 for their friend staying at their property

TM30 = 24hr address notification

TM47 = 90 day address confirmation

Two different numbered forms. Duh.

They are different forms for different things. Simple enough answer?

TM30 is filed by property owners any time a foreigner spends the night at their property. Legally must be filed within 24 hours of the foreigner arriving at the property. There are actually many countries that have a similar process (Korea, Japan, European countries), but those countries don't penalize the person for the property owner's failure to file this like Thailand does.

TM47 is a 90-day report. It is a foreigner's responsibility to report their location to the government every 90 consecutive days in Thailand.
